They currently are not intervening> Escalation though is possible


What could escalate this war is if Russia gets tired of seeing the West supply Ukrainine and does something about it:

1. Russia attacks a ship belonging to a NATO country that is bringing supplies

2. Russia sees supplies coming across the Polish or Romanian border to Ukraine and decides to retaliate.

3. Russia crosses a border to attack or shell Ukrainiian soldiers that seek refuge across the border into Poland or Romania.

4. Russia widens the war by attacking Georgia due to Georgia enacting sanctions...

To me it is conceivable that Russia trips a wire that leads to escalation.. I hope not but I can envision scenarios - based on past examples in wars - that could lead to it.
